  1. “Where Ebenezer Baptist Church and the Church of Dr. King, and we're a church. So any and everybody's welcome. To the church. And I think that in my case, I wouldn't have to change the sermon. Because if you heard me on Sunday morning and the things that I tend to talk about, I'm sure there'll be plenty for him and others to consider.”

  2. “I have And what I have seen is concerning. It gives me pause. And there's a way in which we have been. Getting this information now over the last few years. And so I do think it's important for Congress to act, and But I also think it's important for us to act in a thoughtful way. And so this is not a politician's answer. My 13-year-old constituents and my seven-year-old daughter at home, notwithstanding, I do think that we need to act in a thoughtful way. So, you know, I'm looking at the various proposals. There's more than one way to think about how to respond to this. But there's a way in which, as you point out, it's that classic balance between national security on the other hand. And the values that we have around freedom and expression and all of that on the other hand, and both of those things have to be protected.”

  4. “Flamed on TikTok. You don't want to get ripped to pieces. You're a man of God and you're afraid of these teens. Exactly. You're a teen-fearing man. For the first time I am hearing from the 13-year-old constituents in Georgia.”

  6. “That mindset. And I still remain hopeful that we will use all the diplomatic tools that we have, that we will use the pressure that we have. Israel is a sovereign state we respected sovereignty. But as you point out, as we provide the resources for Israel, we have a right, and I think a moral obligation to ensure that what happens with the resources, with the weapons is consistent with American values. We have an ability to speak. Moral authority and credibility in the world, that's important for the long-term national security of our country and for the prospects of peace, not only in this conflict, but in conflicts in the future.”

  7. “We're talking not only about empathy but enlightened self interest. It would be devastating for the people of Gaza. And yes, it would push us further away from the From peace I know there are those who say, well, what are we going to do about Hamas? which is a terrorist organization bent on the destruction of Israel, I take that seriously. If the legacy of the attack on October 7th becomes Continuing escalating violence in turn? Then Hamas will have already won. Hamas is not just an organization, in fact, I think the ideology is much more dangerous, much more lethal, especially now than the organization. It is an ideology that lies in a place deeper than any of the tunnels beneath Gaza. And somehow we've got to disrupt.”

  8. “No question that there's a moral urgency to all of this, which is why when I gave the floor speech on the floor of the United States Senate calling for a ceasefire. I said in no uncertainty. That I think is a mistake. that it would be a grave moral error. For Netanyahu to escalate this conflict and to go into Rafah. Palestinian people, in a sense, did what they were told to do. And you got 1.5 million Palestinians sheltering in Rafah. Now to balm the very area where they were told to go? is unimaginable to me. And the relief agencies that are on the ground are saying this. These are folks who don't have a political bone in this fight. They're predicting that this could mean that we'd lose some 85,000 Palestinians on top of the 30,000 that have already been killed.”

  9. “Think about the meaning of Ramadan and Passover, Easter on the horizon for those of us who are Christian, that we can tap into these traditions, center the children, and find our way to a two state solution that honors the humanity of Palestinian children and Israeli children.”

  10. “That we've seen in the wake of that, there's an acronym they're using in Gaza that basically says wounded chow with no surviving family. I can't think of a worse place to be in the world, a worse hand to be dealt coming into the world than to be a wounded child. With no surviving family. And so I'm doing. The things that I can and I'm actively looking for ways in which we can continue to use all the tools that we have to get us on a path that leads to peace. Here's what I know. Increasing death. devastation will not end death and devastation. And so we've got to get on another road. And I hope that somehow people on both sides of that conflict, that all of us can tap into the best of our faith and moral traditions.”

  11. “And see our own. If we actually believed that the ability of other people's children to thrive is inextricably connected to the future of our own, what set of choices would we make? I think that's what the prophet meant when he said that a little child shall lead them. And so we've seen just devastation that is unspeakable, first with, not first, but in recent months with October 7th. We can't turn our eyes away from what happened. And the death that happened, the sheer human cruelty, sexual violence used as a weapon of war. Elderly people, little babies and children taking the kind of gratuitous violence and brutality of it all. We can't turn away from that, but we also cannot turn away from the devastation.”

  12. “I must say to you that that's always felt and sound a little idyllic to me. Like, what does that mean? And as I've been looking at the situation in Gaza, I've thought about the fact that adversaries and people who are on different sides of a conflict, here's the thing they have in common. They all love their children. And if somehow we can look into other into the eyes of other people's children.”

  13. “Well, I think with the letter that you saw that I and several others signed on to you see us doing just that, exploring all the ways in which We use the tools we have to get our ally to do what is necessary to honor the humanity of Palestinian children. and to recognize a Palestinian children are every bit as precious. As Israeli children. And so that's the work that I've been trying to do as a moral leader that somehow we've got a center humanity in this. You got me on this faith part of the conversation, which always informs the work that I do. But since we're on this path, there's the scripture where Isaiah says that the... Lions lie down next to the lamb and a little chow shall lead them.”

  14. “Long before I was fighting for an inclusive community, a beloved community that embraces folks red, yellow, brown, black, and white, members of the LGBTQ community that's intentional about making sure that we celebrate the gifts and diversity, that people who are differently able bring to the table, that there were folks who were having conversations about this and fighting for it long before me. And that helps me to take the long view so that when we have these moments when there are these contractions like what we saw between 2016 and 2020, these contractions, these steps backwards, I take the long view that says even if we lose or have a setback in this moment, as Dr. King used to say, the ark, the ark of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice. It is what gives me hope to keep bending that ark.”

  15. “The rituals signify that not only are you part of this living community, but a community that was there before you, a great cloud of witnesses. Who've passed on that this work of truth telling and justice making in the world was going on before you showed up that someone passed that baton on to you. And how that's helpful in this moment? Is that it encourages you to take the long view? I think that there is a way in which it's easy to become cynical in this moment because we've seen so much hypocrisy and politics in religious institutions. I think the problems are so enormous that you can easily become hardened and cynical, give in to despair, but participating in these traditions, at least for me, is the recognition that long before I was fighting for healthcare and Medicaid experience.”

  16. “I mean, spiritual, they watch. See, that's, I mean, I think that spirituality is tested in community. Easy to stand up in some silo and say I'm spiritual. And I think the way to see the depth of your spirituality is to be in community with other folks who are on the spiritual journey because if you really want to see how deep your spirituality is, you need to be with folks who are there and that are going to get on your nerves with whom you're going to disagree, whom you're going to find irksome. And that's where spirituality is tested, is tested in community. And that's part of what church or the synagogue or the temple provides for us. And as a community of accountability.”

  17. “I agree. There is a, you know, there's an epidemic of loneliness in our country. And connected to that, people are feeling less happy and more depressed. And I think human connection is healing. There is something that happens. And so what I do say to young folks in my church on Sunday morning and in other places, and I just, you know, all kinds of people, is, you know, I often hear folks say I'm not religious, I'm spiritual. And I understand what they're getting at, right?”

  18. “I was running to get people health care, fighting for criminal justice reform because I think it is a deep moral contradiction that the United States of America is 5% of the world's population we warehouse nearly 25% of the prison population in the world, the land of the free is the incarceration capital of the world. I think that the church has to give itself over to fighting for creation, fighting for the planet. And I think to the degree that we do that, And young people see a genuine commitment to that. They may not join the church, but they'll join the movement. And I think that's what we had long before we had a church anyway. It was actually a movement that became a church. And I invite folks every week on Sunday when I preach and through the work that I do to join. To join the movement.”

  19. “Putting people in the seats. That's the wrong way to think about it. And in my view, it's actually the opposite of the gospel. Jesus said that if you seek to save yourself, you'll lose yourself. But if you give yourself over for my sake, if you give yourself over to something larger than you, You'll save yourself in the process. And so I think that there's a way in which this focus on institutionalism is a good way to kill an institution. The church has to give itself over to what Jesus and all of the great faith traditions fought for, justice, mercy, compassion. Otherwise, you find yourself aligned with the powers in such a way that you actually lose your prophetic voice. And so I have spent my time at Ebonizer long before I ran for the Senate fighting for health care because I believed in it. I wasn't running for anything.”

  20. “My church is actually growing and not declining, and it's generationally diverse. And to my joy, it is increasingly racially diverse. Dr. King used to say that the most segregated hour in America was eleven o'clock Sunday morning, and I have said to my church for years that if we can't figure out a way to defy that in the church where Martin Luther King Jr. preached, I don't know where else we can do it. So we've been very intentional about that. This might come as a little bit of a surprise to you, but I don't know. I'm not as Concerned about church attendance, even though I think it's important. I think that something happens when you're part of a faith community. But I think if church leaders become obsessed with”

  21. “We're both of them. We can't say that January 6th is not who we are. There's a sense in which that's who we've always been. Who get to choose which direction we're going to go in. And I hope that the young people who are listening to this podcast and others will lean in.”

  22. “Somewhere between the hopes of january fifth and the peril of january sixth. We're somewhere between a nation that can send an African American man who grew up in public housing the first and his family to graduate from college to the United States Senate alongside a young Jewish man, the son of an immigrant, both inspired by John Lewis or that nation that says this is only for some of us. And if this diverse American electorate decides who the president is, we're not going to let that happen. We'll shut it down even to the point of violence. And so I choose the America of January 5th. I'm aware of the reality of January 6th. And I think we can't be in denial about that. And there's a sense in which we are both of those days.”

  23. “Oh, it's huge. And I think that's the case for all of our elections. I have often said that I believe that democracy is the political enactment of a spiritual idea. I really believe that. It is born of this notion that we were created in what theologians called the imago day or the image of God. And if you're not given to that kind of religious language, this idea that we all have value, that we all have worth as human beings, and if I have value, then I ought to have a voice and democracy enables that by giving me a vote. And so I think the faith community has an important role to play in all times, but especially in a moment like this, it's really the soul of our country. And we are once again at a critical. inflection point a place where two ways meet.”

  25. “Has had their student debt cance And believe it or not, and all the rooms I've been going to, hands go up. And in some places, as much as sixty, seventy percent of the room. And we've done 144 billion dollars of student debt cancellation and counting that's impacted some 4 million Americans. What does that do? It closes the racial wealth gap. It gives people a chance to own their own home because they don't have a mortgage before they have a mortgage. Yeah. It increases the likelihood that young entrepreneurial people will start small businesses. This is how government shows up in the lives of ordinary people. And I think that at the end of the day, the question is who's working for me? Who's thinking about ordinary, hardworking people? And again, Joe Biden has receipts and continue to make the case.”

  26. “Well, you know, Democrats aren't always that good at talking about what we've gotten done. I think we stay really, really focused on getting things done. But here are the facts. And I think about this as a senator. I think about this as we consider our base. Black unemployment is at a record low. We've seen a 60% increase in black wealth since before the pandemic. We've seen a 30-year high in the opening up of black businesses. We've invested some $7 billion in historically black colleges and universities. As they say, you know, in some of the neighborhoods that I move around in Atlanta, Joe Biden's got receipts. And I think the job is ours. To continue to make that case. One of the things that I've been doing is that as I go and talk to rooms all across our state, lately I've been asking people if you or somebody you know”

  28. “Listen, in this business, you pay attention to the polls, but I think it's a strategic era to be obsessed with the polls. I call it the polar coaster. Yeah, yeah. And look, it's still relatively early in the election season. I think we'll see these polls go up and down. And here's what we know at the end of the day. It's going to be close. And since it's going to be close, we better turn our people out. We've got to help people to understand what's at stake. And I do think that as we get closer to the election, And people recognize that at the end of the day, this is a binary choice, nothing else, binary choice. And the contrast could not be more stark. The consequences and the stakes, in my view, could not be higher. And I think that as we make that case, both about what the president has done, and it's impressive.”
